Video has always been desirable in training. Now the cost has become affordable enough so that just about anyone can begin exploring learning applications with Virtual Reality (VR). In this session, we’ll discuss the differences several topics to get started with VR including the differences between 360-degree photos (for viewing in every direction is recorded at the same time, shot using an omnidirectional camera or a collection of cameras) and video and 3D spatial environments. Photos and video are the easiest to get started with VR because the cameras cost less than most smartphones and most of the software is open source to prepare media for distribution. There’s more to getting started with VR than acquiring hardware and software, and we’ll look at instructional design approaches for immersive learning and other applications.
